clover db setup using maven and no pom.xml

[J W]

I have clover setup in maven3 using the .m2/settings.xml. How and where is the clover database created in such cases?

How can I set this up without making changes to the pom.xml?

All the examples I have seen talk about adding the configuration to the pom file. If that is the case, what is point of providing a means in the .m2/settings.xml?

Thanks for any help!

By default it creates one Clover database per Maven module in the <module_dir>/target/clover/clover.db file.

1) In order to use a different path, declare a following property in settings.xml:

<properties>
  <clover.cloverDatabase>relative/path/to/clover.db</clover.cloverDatabase>
</properties>

2) If you want to have one database for whole Mmaven project, declare:

<properties>
  <clover.singleCloverDatabase>true</clover.singleCloverDatabase>
</properties>

You can use both settings together as well.
